MG MG Y Type - Tyres 5x50x16
| Can someone please tell me if it is possible to fit and use 5x50x16 crossplys in place of the 5x25x16 tyres. What if any problems or advantages are there? Regards Phil. |

| Yes, you can fit them. Advantage is a slightly higher gearing. The sparewheel needs to be original size, it won't fit otherwise. In the archives there are some interesting threads about YA tyres, f.i.: http://www2.mgcars.org.uk/cgi-bin/gen5?runprog=mgbbs&access=&mode=archiveth&subject=13&subjectar=13&thread=2005041620561410290 The size on the tyre does not mean that it is the actual size, the circumfence differs a lot depending on the make. |
